Design & Shopping
Moving into your new house and need help turning it into your home?
Looking to update and create new energy in your space?
Or would just rather watch paint dry than go shopping?
Not all people who need help staging (or decorating) their home are planning on moving. Sometimes we just feel overwhelmed with the family photo wall or the bookshelf over here and there - how do we make the most of the space we have with the items we want to display?
Amongst those that have traveled with Thoma, it is no secret that she reorganizes furniture in hotel rooms or AirBnB’s to make them more functional for her stay (all the while on vacation). She has even received thank you notes from the owner of the Rental space for making the rooms feel so much more inviting.
Our ability to see function and layout makes us the best choice to help you make your home a livable reflection of who you are. At Thoma & Co, creating a welcoming and functional space for you is our number one priority, we source materials that create a unique and custom ambiance that supports your lifestyle. With Thoma’s keen eye to detail, she can offer you simple strategies that work with the space, while creating flow and functionality.
Decorating one room or the entire house is a service we offer. This can create the illusion of having more space and providing each room with more purpose, and allowing you to just breathe.

WINDOW COVERING CONSULTATION
A coat of paint can completely change the atmosphere and bring life into any room. At Thoma & Co, we think outside the box of colour, we are colour specialists and can refresh your space with the most creative combinations, textures, and undertones that you will love to go with your new design.
Home Office
Not only is the layout of the office important, but so is the colour that can help you focus and breathe. We can help you with design, speak with you about the ergonomics and function of the space. With more and more people working from home, it becomes more challenging to find that quiet space where you can create and concentrate. Quotes are done on a project to project basis.
